I enjoy collecting pens of different colors, shapes, and sizes. As a teacher, I am sure that many people would think that we have more red ink pens than any other colors. Well, yeah, maybe for some. Not for me though! I have pens with different colors of ink. I enjoy checking and rating the papers of my students using different colors.

i've noticed when on holiday that no matter where you go in the world you can get a pen that depicts it and i used to think how cool it would be to collect pens. for something so basic they come in such weird and wonderful shapes. i collected cigerette lighters and some of them are weird too! you should put a photo on mylot of some of your favorite pens to show us all.

When i was in high school i liked all those gell pens that came in the different colors. I would write notes in all the different colors to friends and those were fun to have as well. They would good to write my own notes in as well for classes. Of course i wouldnt use them to do school work becasue the teachers would probably not be able to read all the oclors i liked then. There alot of fun to have and to use as well. I would like to use them now but at work i have to use colors that everyone can read and everyone can use as well. Sharing is what i do at work with the guys that are around.

I had a teacher once who used blue and green. As long as the colours didn't get too whacky. I have a probme with my vision, and would have a problem seeing pink, or yellow, if used to mark a paper. Good for you for doing something creative. I hope your students appreciate it.

I am sure they do. In fact, there are times when they would given give me pens as a present.

That's cute!!! I also like pens of different colors but I'm not a teacher. I especially like sign pens and colored pens. But I don't really collect because I can't use them all and they just go to waste. I only have a few which I use a lot of times at work and at school.

hi dear dolce_vita here the color for marking tests etc is red. I have never seen a teacher or instructor mark with another color. Interesting to know you like to collect pens. I do too there are some especially nice ones I collect and wont even use. The most interesting one looked like a syringe......

Really? Some of my university teachers mark our exams with whatever they have at hand. I've got some test with corrections written on pencil! Can you believe that?
